The temporal profile of lasers, typically up-converted from infrared to ultraviolet, have significant impact on the distribution and time-evolution of the collective electron bunches. Towards this end, we present a method combining efficient nonlinear up-conversion with simultaneous and adaptable temporal profile shaping through dispersion-controlled sum-frequency generation* resulting in temporal profiles with sharp rise-fall times and flat top profiles. Using the LCLS-II photoinjector as a case study, we demonstrate a reduction in generated electron transverse emittance by upwards of 30% over conventionally implemented temporal profiles. Additionally, we discuss the ongoing experimental implementation of this method and preliminary results.}}, }
